How can Infertility counseling help me?Fertility Centers of Illinois understands that infertility and its treatment can be very stressful and emotionally difficult. We are proud to have a full time psychologist on staff as a resource to complement your infertility care at FCI. Marie Davidson, PhD., is a clinical psychologist with 15 years of experience in fertility counseling and is a former fertility patient herself. She is available for short-term counseling or consultation to FCI patients at no charge. Patients may be referred to Dr. Davidson by an FCI physician, nurse, or they may request an appointment on their own. Call (866) 606-2830 to schedule a face-to-face or phone appointment with Dr. Davidson. (continued below)
